Tom-
I owned a 76 XJ6L, bought it about 1980. I think my experience was typical,
not unlike what you will have. I LOVED that car! BUT, it was like a
mistress. If you have a mistress and you treat her better than you think
she should be treated, she will treat you better than you think you should
be treated. But let her down just a little bit, and she's a b***h. A Jag
doesn't nickel and dime you to death. It 5 and 10 dollars you to death (in
1980 dollars, about 1/10 of today), constantly, perpetually. Keep that in
mind when you're negotiating price. Oh, and by the way, the wiring diagram
didn't show all the wires and devices! Caveat emptor....
Best,
Skip Gurnee
